Diabetic Emergencies Diabetic ketoacidosis ()()((D(KA) I. Definition: Diabetic ketoacidosis is a serious complication of diabetes that occurs when your body produces high levels of blood acids called ketones. Diabetic ketoacidosis develops when your body is unable to produce enough insulin and an increase in insulin counter-regulatory hormones (catecholamines‚ cortisol‚ glucagon and growth hormone). Insulin normally plays a key role in helping sugar (glucose) — a major source of energy for

synthesis‚ here we show graphene-based supercapacitors with high stability and significantly-improved electrical double layer capacitance and energy density with fast charging and discharging time at a high current density‚ due to enhanced ionic electrolyte accessibility in deeper regions. The discharge capacitance and energy density values‚ 195 Fg-1 and 83.4 Whkg-1‚ are achieved at a current density of 2.5 Ag-1. The time required to discharge 64.18 Whkg-1 at 5 A/g is around 25 sec. At 7.5 Ag-1 current

This energy was at a certain frequency that depended on the strength of the magnetic fields and the magnetic properties of the isotopes of the atoms. Luckily due to his electrolyte work with Cope‚ he had some idea of where to go. Damadian hypothesised that the hydrogen in the cancerous tissue may differ from that of a healthy signal because cancerous tissue contained a higher amount of water‚ meaning there was a higher amount

Journal Article Critique I chose to read the article‚ “Osteoporosis in multiple sclerosis” written by Andrew P Hearn and Eli Silber. It is an understanding about osteoporosis and the connection it might have with multiple sclerosis (MS) compared to patients that do not have multiple sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis is a neurological disability that affects a great amount of young adults. The longer a person has multiple sclerosis‚ the more the person loses strength in there bones. Osteoporosis occurs

Haemodynamic stability is crucial as hypovolaemia can occur quickly because of the obstruction‚ fluid levels can rise quickly due to decreased gut movement causing the bowel to distend and losing its functionality of absorbing water and minerals thereby leading to fluid and electrolyte imbalance (Torrance and Serginson
